The hospital waiting room was empty except for Paige who was alone. Ellie had offered to get off work early to come with her, but Paige refused. Really Paige wanted Matt by her side. But no matter how hard she tried she couldn't tell him. She made up a dumb excuse about having the flu. She twisted the strap of her backpack nervously. Just then a nurse stepped out of a room. "Are you Paige Sime ?" Paige nodded. "Follow me." The Doctor was reading something when Paige arrived at the office. He rubbed his eyes. "Have you suffered any side effects from the treatment ?" he asked. "A little," The Doctor leaned over the desk. " As you know we did a few tests on you a couple of weeks ago to see if the chemotherpy was working. I got the results this morning." "Well, what do they say ? Did it work ?" "No. " the Doctor said said sadly shaking his head. "What ?" Paige asked in total disbelife. "It didn't work. I'm so sorry." Paige stood up and paced the room. The way she did when she was nervous. "We can try something else can't we." "There are no other treatments. Nothing will work now. I'm sorry." Luckily her dad and Molly were in when Paige arrived. Violet was out and Bailey was around somewhere. "I went the hospital today, got my test results back." "Well, what did they say ?" Molly asked egarly. Paige shook her head sadly. "It didn't work." No-one spoke for a while. "There's got to be another option right Molly," Molly was nodding. "The cost dosen't matter, I'll pay..." "No Dad. There is no other option. Chemotherpy was the only shot we had." "This can't be happening. You can't be dying." |
